HE.. Diagnosis and management of common eyelid conditions

HE.. Diagnosis and management of common eyelid conditionsAs eyelids are very visible to everyone, lesions occurring on the lids are usually detected early.

Similarly, conditions such as as excessive watering from the eye (epiphora) can be quite troublesome, especially in winter and the flu season, and many people will seek help earlier rather than later because of the degree of annoyance it causes.One of the more common benign eyelid conditions encountered in general practice is a chalazion. This is a granulomatous inflammation of the Meibomian glands in the lids, and presents as a firm swelling in the upper or lower lid, usually non-tender, rounded, and well delineated. It is easily treated with warm compresses and antibiotic ointment.

Rarely it will affect vision, with patients most frequently describing it as annoying rather than anything else. Should it persist, referral to an ophthalmologist for incision and curettage should be considered.
